the_o presence_n of_o the_o mean_a man._n this_o be_v a_o very_a unaccountable_a thing_n and_o one_o will_v imagine_v that_o such_o man_n do_v not_o believe_v that_o god_n see_v what_o they_o do_v in_o secret_a and_o yet_o they_o do_v believe_v it_o and_o we_o all_o know_v it_o be_v so_o it_o may_v be_v there_o be_v few_o man_n but_o be_v guilty_a of_o some_o private_a sin_n at_o sometime_o or_o other_o which_o nothing_o can_v have_v persuade_v they_o to_o have_v commit_v public_o and_o yet_o when_o any_o man_n be_v tempt_v by_o secrecy_n and_o and_o retirement_n though_o he_o drive_v away_o the_o thought_n of_o god_n as_o much_o as_o he_o can_v while_o he_o be_v in_o pursuit_n of_o his_o lust_n and_o wicked_a design_n when_o he_o come_v to_o himself_o and_o have_v time_n to_o

for_o all_o our_o most_o secret_a sin_n how_o little_a it_o will_v avail_v we_o to_o conceal_v our_o sin_n from_o man_n we_o may_v indeed_o by_o this_o mean_n escape_v present_a shame_n and_o punishment_n but_o eternal_a shame_n eternal_a torment_n will_v be_v our_o portion_n and_o be_v we_o more_o afraid_a of_o be_v reproach_v by_o man_n then_o of_o be_v reproach_v by_o god_n and_o by_o our_o own_o conscience_n then_o of_o be_v expose_v to_o shame_n in_o the_o general_n assembly_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n when_o god_n shall_v bring_v to_o light_v all_o the_o hide_a work_n of_o darkness_n be_v we_o more_o afraid_a of_o some_o punishment_n in_o our_o body_n or_o estate_n which_o humane_a law_n and_o judicature_n can_v inflict_v on_o we_o than_o we_o be_v of_o hell_n where_o the_o worm_n die_v not_o and_o the_o fire_n be_v not_o quench_v i_o be_o very_o sensible_a what_o it_o be_v that_o deceive_v man_n in_o this_o matter_n and_o if_o you_o will_v but_o reflect_v upon_o yourselves_o you_o will_v find_v what_o i_o say_v to_o be_v true_a you_o do_v believe_v that_o god_n see_v your_o most_o secret_a sin_n and_o will_v judge_v and_o condemn_v you_o for_o they_o and_o you_o be_v more_o afraid_a of_o hell_n then_o of_o all_o present_a shame_n and_o punishment_n and_o yet_o you_o will_v venture_v upon_o those_o sin_n under_o the_o eye_n of_o god_n which_o the_o presence_n of_o a_o man_n at_o least_o of_o such_o man_n as_o will_v discover_v your_o sin_n and_o shame_n and_o punish_v you_o for_o it_o will_v have_v keep_v you_o from_o what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o to_o be_v more_o afraid_a of_o god_n than_o of_o man_n and_o yet_o to_o stand_v in_o more_o awe_n of_o man_n than_o of_o god_n the_o account_n of_o this_o which_o look_v like_o a_o mystery_n i_o think_v be_v very_o plain_a man_n dare_v not_o commit_v those_o sin_n public_o which_o they_o will_v venture_v on_o in_o private_a because_o if_o man_n see_v their_o wickedness_n they_o immediate_o forfeit_v their_o reputation_n and_o get_v such_o a_o blot_n and_o stain_v on_o their_o name_n which_o all_o the_o tear_n of_o repentance_n can_v wash_v out_o again_o for_o they_o know_v the_o world_n be_v ill-natured_a and_o every_o single_a miscarriage_n which_o come_v to_o be_v know_v leave_v a_o indelible_a character_n of_o infamy_n on_o they_o and_o they_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o forfeit_v their_o reputation_n which_o be_v so_o necessary_a to_o the_o comfort_n of_o life_n for_o ever_o and_o beside_o this_o if_o the_o sin_n they_o commit_v be_v such_o as_o be_v punishable_a by_o human_a law_n if_o they_o be_v know_v all_o their_o repentance_n how_o sincere_a soever_o it_o be_v will_v not_o deliver_v they_o from_o punishment_n and_o though_o they_o love_v their_o sin_n very_o well_o they_o will_v not_o venture_v the_o punishment_n of_o they_o but_o now_o though_o god_n abhor_v all_o sin_n more_o than_o the_o best_a man_n do_v and_o hell_n be_v a_o more_o terrible_a punishment_n than_o any_o thing_n in_o this_o world_n yet_o god_n may_v be_v atone_v and_o reconcile_v by_o repentance_n repentance_n will_v restore_v they_o to_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o hide_v and_o cover_v their_o sin_n and_o blot_v they_o out_o of_o their_o account_n and_o reconcile_v they_o to_o their_o own_o conscience_n and_o prevent_v their_o final_a punishment_n in_o the_o next_o world_n and_o this_o they_o resolve_v upon_o repent_v they_o will_v and_o repentance_n will_v secure_v they_o both_o from_o the_o future_a shame_n and_o punishment_n of_o sin_n and_o therefore_o their_o only_a care_n be_v to_o conceal_v their_o shame_n from_o man_n and_o to_o escape_v present_a punishment_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o they_o dare_v commit_v those_o sin_n in_o secret_a though_o they_o know_v god_n see_v they_o which_o they_o dare_v not_o commit_v in_o the_o view_n of_o the_o world_n this_o make_v the_o presence_n and_o the_o eye_n of_o god_n so_o ineffectual_a to_o restrain_v man_n lust_n that_o they_o hope_v after_o all_o their_o secret_a villainy_n to_o be_v friend_n again_o with_o god_n but_o do_v not_o expect_v shall_v the_o world_n discover_v their_o wickedness_n that_o it_o will_v spare_v they_o or_o ever_o think_v well_o of_o they_o more_o this_o look_n like_o a_o very_a notable_a contrivance_n to_o preserve_v our_o reputation_n in_o the_o world_n by_o secrecy_n and_o to_o regain_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n by_o repentance_n but_o the_o devil_n be_v too_o cunning_a for_o sinner_n for_o if_o the_o awe_n and_o reverence_n for_o god_n and_o the_o fear_n of_o a_o future_a judgement_n will_v not_o preserve_v man_n from_o secret_a sin_n their_o other_o hope_n will_v deceive_v they_o such_o man_n shame_n will_v not_o be_v long_o conceal_v and_o their_o repentance_n will_v soon_o grow_v impossible_a when_o man_n think_v to_o outwit_n god_n his_o justice_n and_o providence_n be_v concern_v for_o their_o discovery_n almost_o as_o many_o sinner_n as_o we_o see_v hang_v or_o pillory_v or_o whip_v so_o many_o demonstration_n there_o be_v that_o man_n can_v conceal_v their_o sin_n or_o can_v never_o be_v sure_a they_o shall_v for_o all_o these_o malefactor_n study_v secrecy_n and_o concealment_n as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v and_o yet_o be_v at_o one_o time_n or_o other_o discover_v and_o suffer_v that_o public_a shame_n and_o punishment_n they_o deserve_v there_o be_v a_o thousand_o accident_n which_o betray_v the_o great_a privacy_n a_o thousand_o circumstance_n which_o make_v man_n suspect_v and_o that_o make_v they_o watch_v and_o curious_o observe_v they_o can_v always_o use_v that_o caution_n that_o be_v require_v or_o the_o partner_n and_o instrument_n of_o their_o sin_n be_v

will_v be_v know_v to_o all_o the_o world_n when_o they_o begin_v to_o rot_v with_o it_o when_o the_o mark_n of_o their_o sin_n grow_v visible_a and_o can_v be_v hide_v no_o long_o nay_o man_n who_o
